Chapter 195: Guoshu Building and Kung Fu Movie (Part 2)

Zhang Yi has undoubtedly been busy recently.

There are too many things involved in the Guoshu Building, and Zhang Yi rarely participates in the post-production of "The Myth". Overseas Chinese boxers were invited to Hong Kong to participate in the opening of the Guoshu Building, and Zhang Yi had to come forward for some very famous boxers.

As for American Master Zhu Hongzhi, one of the most influential grand masters among overseas Chinese boxers, Zhang Yi went to the airport to greet him in person. And accompanying him was his apprentice Luo Shukai.

Luo Shukai fell into the trap of the mafia in the United States, boxed for him, and injured Zhu Hongzhi's close disciples, and finally escaped from the control of the mafia. Zhu Hongzhi also contributed a lot. What's more, he was invited to come this time.

As a matter of fact, it was necessary for Zhang Yi to welcome him in person.

"Master Zhu!" Zhang Yi led Luo Shukai and others to greet him, and said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Master Zhang!" Zhu Hongzhi also cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Zhang Yi glanced at Zhu Hongzhi's side, but did not see Liao Jianguo. He frowned and glanced at Luo Shukai beside him.

"Haha, Jianguo went back to the mainland, so he didn't come this time. He competed fairly with his disciples, and won or lost without any grudges. Master Zhang must be worried." Zhu Hongzhi laughed, as if he could see what Zhang Yi was thinking, and then

Said. The meaning of the words was nothing more than telling Zhang Yi that Liao Jianguo didn't come because he was not worried about what happened last time.

"Haha, I didn't thank Master Zhu for his help last time about Shu Kai." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"We are all Chinese, so we should help. Besides, it's just a small effort." Zhu Hongzhi waved his hand and said.

"Master Zhu, please, let's talk when we go back," Zhang Yi said immediately.

In the car, Zhu Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yi and then said: "Master Zhang's Guoshu Building this time has a great influence, and there are many media reports in the United States. Moreover, Master Zhang set off the Chinese Kung Fu craze in the United States last time, and many

Chinese martial arts schools have benefited from this. Before coming here, many boxers asked me to ask Master Zhang if he was interested in opening a martial arts building in the United States."

Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect American boxers to take the initiative to ask. After all, if he went to the United States to open a martial arts building, their martial arts business would be affected.

Was this question a test? Or an invitation? Zhang Yi was a little unsure.

At the beginning, there was a lot of resistance to opening a Chinese martial arts building in Hong Kong. If it weren’t for the support of Tai Chi master Master Chen and the Tai Sheng Pi Kiao Association and the Wing Chun Association, it would have been very difficult to open a Chinese martial arts building in Hong Kong. Moreover,

Even if they supported it, Zhang Yi had to fight to calm down the situation.

After being surprised, Zhang Yi immediately felt relieved. Opening a martial arts gym overseas is simply impossible if you don't have some real skills. But even if you can fight, it will be difficult without the support of forces behind you. American Chinese martial arts gyms, and Hongmen

There are some inextricable connections. Either he is a member of Hongmen or he is attached to Hongmen.

As a well-known Hongmen boxer, Zhu Hongzhi has extremely high prestige. Among the Hongmen in the United States, there are few who can compare with him.

"Master Huo came to me before and wanted to build another Chinese martial arts building in Taipei. I am planning to take advantage of Master Xue Lianxin's visit to Hong Kong to ask his opinion. As for building a Chinese martial arts building in the United States, what is Master Zhu's opinion?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said. He did not answer directly, but was trying to probe Zhu Hongzhi's tone.

Zhu Hongzhi naturally heard Zhang Yi's intention, then smiled and said: "Whether it is Hong Kong or Taipei, it can be said that we Chinese are our own territory. When opening the Guoshu Building, what we will face is the Chinese martial arts community. The source of resistance.

It's just within the Chinese boxers. But in the United States, there are differences. Although there are secret fights among the Chinese boxers, they are still very united on the surface. If Mr. Zhang builds a national martial arts building in the United States, the Chinese boxers will naturally support it.

.Resistance naturally comes from outside.”

Zhang Yi nodded and understood the meaning of Zhu Hongzhi's words. The Chinese American boxer was not testing, but inviting.

"Who has the greatest power and influence in the American martial arts community?" Zhang Yi asked immediately.

"The Japanese martial arts community, followed by the Chinese martial arts community. When Master Zhang showed his skills on American television, he set off a craze for Chinese kung fu, and the Chinese martial arts community had a tendency to catch up. When Master Zhang went to the United States to build a national martial arts building, the biggest resistance naturally came from Japan.

The martial arts world. Secondly, the Korean and Thai martial arts circles also have considerable influence." Zhu Hongzhi said.

"I will open Guoshu buildings all over the world. However, it is not the best time to go to the United States to build Guoshu buildings. My influence in the United States is far less than that in Southeast Asia." Zhang Yi said immediately.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongzhi nodded. The reason why the Guoshu Building in Hong Kong is so sensational has a lot to do with Zhang Yi's influence in Southeast Asia. Although Zhang Yi is well-known in the United States, his influence is far less than that in Southeast Asia.

Let’s take the simplest example. When Zhang Yi is in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even all over Southeast Asia, he invites celebrities and big names from all over the world. Those celebrities and big names will definitely give Zhang Yi the face to be invited. But in the United States, those who are invited will definitely

not much.

Zhang Yi's influence coupled with the influence of various celebrities has contributed to the current sensation of Hong Kong's martial arts building!

After settling in Zhu Hongzhi and others, and discussing some boxing skills with him, Zhang Yi said goodbye and left.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Zhang Yi walked into a conference room, smiled and said with cupped hands.

"Ayi, when did you become so polite?" Hong Jinbao waved his hand and said.

At this time, in the conference room, in addition to Hong Jinbao, there were also his fellow martial arts instructors, as well as Hong Kong's major martial arts instructors, such as Cheng Jia Ban, Liu Jia Ban, Yuan Jia Ban, and Cheng Xiaodong.

"Mr. Zhang, why do you have an appointment with us people this time?" Liu Jialiang said. In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart. Because the people here have a common characteristic. Combined with the recent uproar in the Guoshu Building

, if you still can’t guess the score, then there’s no need to mess around.

"You are all Hong Kong's leading martial arts instructors. I have gathered you all together, and naturally I want to discuss Kung Fu movies with you!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Discuss Kung Fu movies?" Everyone looked at each other, with some expectations flashing in their eyes. Zhang Yi's "Ip Man" has received hundreds of millions in box office in mainland China, which made everyone have a better understanding of Zhang Yi's ability to control Kung Fu movies.

Tall people know.

"Kung Fu movies were world-famous until Mr. Bruce Lee, but they gradually declined due to Bruce Lee's death. Then comedy Kung Fu movies became the dominant force in Hong Kong Kung Fu movies. However, although comedy Kung Fu movies were popular in Southeast Asia, they were not recognized by European and American movie fans."

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "As you all know, I, Zhang Yi, am a martial arts practitioner, and I have no shirking responsibility for the spread of martial arts. And kung fu movies are undoubtedly the best way to promote Chinese kung fu. Today we will talk about how to promote Chinese kung fu through

Kung Fu movies will carry forward China’s Kung Fu. We will also explore possible ways for Hong Kong’s Kung Fu movies.”

"Kung fu movies are actually martial arts movies, films with the theme of showing Chinese martial arts skills. Other monster movies, sword movies, etc. can also be considered a type of martial arts and kung fu movies. I think everyone here is familiar with the research in this area.

He is much better than me, so I won’t try to do anything in this class.” Zhang Yi glanced at everyone in the conference room and then said, “How about you all express your opinions?”

"Mr. Zhang plans to make a Kung Fu movie?" Yuan Heping asked immediately.

Zhang Yi has now finished shooting "The Myth", but everyone in the industry has heard of his upcoming movie plans, but has never heard of plans for a kung fu movie. So, when he invited so many martial artists to come, he must not just be discussing it.

What is the development of kung fu movies? There is a plan to make kung fu movies, and I am afraid this plan is not as simple as one or two movies.

"I plan to spend 100 million, or even more, to invest in kung fu movies. Combining gods and ghosts style, traditional martial arts style, urban comedy style, science fiction style, etc., I want to export Chinese kung fu culture to the world!

"Zhang Yi smiled and said lightly.
